I’ve had a song stuck in my head for three days. I heard it on Sirius. It’s by a band called Clutch. I saw them live back in ’94 or ’95 opening for Marilyn Manson. They’re still together and putting out great music. Unfortunately, I can’t get the song stuck in my head from iTunes. That’s torture. Not being able to scratch an itch.
Here’s the video on YouTube. It’s called ‘Electric Worry’. Bang bang bang bang, vamanos vamanos.
For my birthday this year, my wife got me a coffee roaster. She got me the i-Roast 2. Yes, now I can buy the beans green and roast them myself to the level that I like. People have asked me why I would want to do this. Is it a price thing? Well, yes I might save a nickel or two, but that’s not it. It’s the flavor that comes from fresh roasting as opposed to the stuff bought at grocery stores. I can go on and on about coffee the way others do about wine.
I come from a background of wasting time at coffee shops as a California teen and became something of a coffee snob. I absolutely can not stand Starbucks coffee and can’t figure out why people like it so much. The beans are over roasted to the point that it just tastes burnt to me.
So, now when I’m struggling to stay awake due to the lack of sleep that comes with a baby, I can just brew up some Waltham Coffee Company (a dream) coffee!
